fore he gets through. You can take fifty
thousand Germans and ill them up to the \

the celebration last week carman tried to
drive through an opening In the procession;
there was plenty of room, but the captain
of the procession seized the horse and struck
the man with his sword. II there is one
thing that New York truckman likes bet
ter than whisky or stopping street car
It Is a fight, and to the credit of our city be
1t recorded, that innocent recreation Is gen
orally within his reach. The truckman
came back on the captain with the truck
stake, and a Polish private gave the truck
man a prod in the rear with bayonet.
Then the fight became general, and the re-
serves were called out. The Polish con-
tingent finally reached the Park. For an
hour or SO there was comparative peace,
that Is to say, 1t was strictly confined to
friendly fights among the Ishkies and the
Vishkies and the Whiskies, in which one
man got his eye knocked out, and another
lost part of his ear,--however, this was
scarcely sufficient to disturb the friendly
feelings of the different parties. But at
last the German walters declared that the
Poles and Hungarians were trying to beat
them ON beer, and Ia less time than 1t takes
to tell the story, beer mugs were flying by
hundreds through the air. The Poles and
Hungarians dashed in with their swords
and guns, but part of the peaceful regalia
of a waiter in a New York beer garden is
a stout locust club and billy. The wait
ers sailed in under the lead of the DropIie-
tor of the garden, and in the end clubs
were trumps. Skulls were cracked, arms
and legs were broken, in short they had a
real nice Polish celebration. They could

or Cracow. suppose we will have to wait
a year for another.
Application has just been made here by
Mrs. Hoyt, the widow of the late Jesse
Hoyt, for the appointment of guardian
for her daughter, Irene. Jesse Hoyt died
leaving fortune of several millions to his
wife and his only child Irene. She was a
confirmed drunkard and Jesse Hoyt knew
it, so that instead of leaving her the bulk
of his fortune he only left her the income
of one million and three hundred thousand
dollars. There is no question but the con
: duct of this woman embittered his life, anC
her own life has been a constant scanda
since his death. At present she is out O.
reach of the New York courts, but If sh,
courts will shut her up where she can d.
no further harm.

and takes the cake. In that city lived

amicable and happy, but at last the lad
